Constant random crashes

Sometimes when Im playing games (in fact alot of times), I crash, yah, thats it. Randomly and irritating. How it happens is that I'll be in the middle of a game (usually some action like a raid or big building is going on) and spring will freeze up, like it will when its experiancing major lag, then suddenly, boom. I'm back it the cilent.
Some things that also happen soem times during that are:

The cilent disconnects cause it says I timed out

I get an error saying it performed an illegal operation

One time it actually restarted my computer

Anything I can do? This has been happening more and more frequently since version .70 was released.

Did you reinstall from scratch or upgrade?

Sounds like hardware overheating.

I dont think its hardware overheating, I got a good fan and my side cover is even off. and its the middle of winter here so things arent exactly the warmest.
And I upgraded from .67, might that have anything to do with it?

like i said ive exactly the same problem on my main comp. I just deleted every TAS directory + registry entrys. I believe that it has something to do with old nvidia cards + new forceware driver. I have many problems with "newer" games, because ive a nvidia geforce 2 MX400 and i have many problems with the new forceware drivers but also with the old detonator drivers :) (i know my comp sucks)

It is already published that old nvidia cards doesnt work with forceware drivers. It could has something to do with this, but i dont know.

The strange thing is that i hadnt have these problems before 0.70

I fixed it. My solution? Keep your firewall off. The major lag feezing crap still happens, but spring always recovers, unless the host left (which means it wasnt my problem). I think the prob was that when major lag happens spring would do some sort of syncing up thing to recover from it, and my firewall didnt like that... Just a theory. Ive tried keeping my firewall of when I play spring (sygate personal firewall if that makes a dif) and I havent crashed since.
